OK, everyone, time to put our corks back in our spleens and stop spewing
around the four-letter words.
Brian, I am surprised your suggestion to switch to polling exclusively
was ignored. Your idea to switch to polling is a good one. In fact,
Nate Williams posted a message (see
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?db=irt&id=199809241705.LAA05726@mt.sri.com)
endorsing the idea.
Try searching the freebsd-mobile archive for "option AND enable AND
PCIC" and look at some of the messages there. In particular, one
message
(http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?db=irt&id=199809241441.IAA04864@mt.sri.com)
gives a good hint as to where you might want to start to implement a
polled-only approach to managing card insertion and removal.
Since the "Powers That Be" only want to commit tested code, I hereby
volunteer as a (semi-CURRENT) guinea pig for your code. I even have
a bit of experience debugging laptop kernel code...
